"Enlisting the help of an internet dating app can be a successful way to find a loving partner. According to the Pew Research Center, one-in-ten partnered adults - meaning those who are married, living with a partner or in a committed romantic relationship - met their current significant other through a dating site or app. Today the ability to bump your shopping cart into a romantic partner exists in a global marketplace."
"One behavioral problem is the way that people break up by ghosting others. When we drop people with no explanation, we harm them. Dropping out of an interaction with another person by suddenly removing them from contact doesn't follow the way that we are naturally programmed. Accessing potential romantic partners on a website is a benefit for all who search for love, and we will all benefit by adjusting the way we communicate when a new connection isn't one we wish to pursue."
Internet dating apps can successfully help people find loving partners; Pew Research Center reports one-in-ten partnered adults met their current significant other through a dating site or app. The global marketplace of online dating provides access across ages and cultures. Many people find the pursuit of love on dating websites deeply unsatisfying because of other users' behaviors rather than the apps themselves. Ghosting—ending contact without explanation—causes emotional harm and violates expectations of interpersonal dignity. Lack of shared norms for digital courtesy compounds the pain of unexplained rejection. Providing clear, healthy feedback improves relational skills and preserves respect.
